I've Got The World On A String - Live / Hickory House, NY / October 8, 1953

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue,
 clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru,
 May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways,
 but a case like mine needs a "special phrase"
 to reveal how I feel.
 I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
 Got the string around my finger,,
 What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
 I've got a song that I sing,
 I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
 Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
 Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
 I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
 I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
 Got the string around my finger,
 What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
 I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
 Got the string around my finger,,
 What a world, what a life, I'm in love!

 Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
 Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
 I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
 I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
 Got the string around my finger,
 What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
